It looks like there is a new Borg cube design, and it's... GREY! I like it very much, it has a more futuristic look. And it is also clearer that there is top and bottom.

It's among the smallest truly cubical Cubes so far. It almost looks as if it was built to be a match to the Voyager...
Don't I even see a hangar door for taking in our favorite starship? I mean the lower part of the side facing the ship in the first pics, between the smooth vertical plates. This could be a dedicated Voyager-hunter, built so that bigger Cubes need not waste their valuable time with such trivial pursuits.

Yes, and the Dark Frontier cube was supposedly 28 cubic kms in volume, which brings it to just about the FC size as quoted in Cinefex - a little over 3km (Cinefex gives a 2-mile figure).
The one from TNG is smaller, around 2km or so. It would be good if we could scale this one precisely once for all times since it doesn't appear more than twice.
Rick Sternbach was talking about describing 5km, 10km and 15km cubes to the writers, crew complements and all. I don't know if these were ever seen onscreen or not.

Indeed there there is! And whe have not seen it on screen.
To me it becomes clearer now the Borg have made different ships for specific missions. Although I think we need to wait until we have actually seen 'Unimatrix Zero' until we know for sure what the reason is for a new design.

I posted this comment in the "Voyager" Forum too. This new "Mini-cube" looks to me like it's been built with armor so it can take more hits and not blow up so easily. It is probably the Queen's new ship, made just for her to hunt down Voyager. She probably thought "Hey, the diamond was trashed too easy, maybe I'd better switch to the new armored model".

I don't like it. It looks like they wanted something different, but they didn't feel like making all the little details of the old cube, so they just made most of it flat and grey...

I can't remember where, but I read somewhere that the Ent-D had a mass of 800 000 metric tons. So the Brog scout from the 'hugh' episode would not be very large, as far as Borg vessels go.

I kind of like it, though I despise the idea of it being a "command" ship.
